Credit advice services include various types of services. For example, credit advice service providers may assist consumers in interpreting their credit reports and provide consumers advice on how to improve their credit scores, general education on credit scores, and other related services. The Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA) is a federal law that governs the manner in which credit counseling service providers provide credit counseling services to consumers. Various states may have their own versions of CROA that impose additional requirements on the credit counseling service providers.
